Hi there! Today’s post is about 2 new Palmolive shower gels which I picked up at my local Wilko store – Palmolive Aroma Moments Just Fabulous and Palmolive Aroma Moments So Luminous. These 2 shower gels contain oils which promise to leave your skin feeling soft. I’ve now tried these shower gels, and here’s what I think.

Palmolive Aroma Moments Just Fabulous with iris extract and avocado oil is a revelation. It smells of velvety iris petals, and it feels amazing on my skin. If you want a shower gel that feels luxuriously and that goes with Prada’s Infusion d’Iris fragrance, this is what you’re looking for! Great stuff, Palmolive!Palmolive Aroma Moments So Luminous with peony extract and macadamia oil feels wonderful on my skin too. The fragrance is more nutty than floral. I like it a lot, but of these two shower gels, I prefer the iris and avocado one.

Palmolive Aroma Moments Just Fabulous and Palmolive Aroma Moments So Luminous are available as 250ml each. Prices vary depending on where you shop. I paid 90p each (special offer).

Hi there! Today I’m reviewing Superdrug‘s Cherry & Macadamia Body Scrub. Superdrug’s own brand body butters and body scrubs seem to be disappearing from the stores. So I thought I should finally give this body scrub (which has been sitting in my stash for ages) a try. Read on if you’d like to know if this product is any good.
I think Superdrug did an amazing job with this body scrub. It’s very effective, it has the perfect consistency, it makes my skin feel insanely soft without being too harsh – and it smells like cherry ice cream! This is an amazing product, and it’s sad that Superdrug has discontinued the entire line. I bought two of these body scrubs, and I’m glad I did!

Superdrug’s Cherry & Macadamia Body Scrub is suitable for vegans. The product is also certified cruelty-free (it carries the Leaping Bunny logo). This scrub is available as 200ml. It’s £4.99 but I picked it up for half price. 🙂

Hi there! Today’s post is about Treacle Moon Happy Melon Sorbet and Treacle Moon Sugared Grapefruit Sunrise. A few weeks ago, one of my friends picked up a set of 5 travel-sized Treacle Moon shower gels. My friend knows that I love fresh and fruity toiletries, so she gave me these 2 60ml shower gels. I’ve now tried (and finished) them, and here’s what I think.

Treacle Moon Happy Melon Sorbet is simply wonderful. The sunny honeydew melon fragrance is 100% spot on. I love it! I hope Treacle Moon launches this fragrance in the UK. I’d be more than happy to pick up those giant 500ml bottles on a regular basis!
Since I love all things grapefruit, I had high hopes for Treacle Moon‘s Sugared Grapefruit Sunrise. However, this shower gel isn’t great. It smells like warm plastic and fruit. If I hadn’t known that it’s supposed to be a grapefruit fragrance, I would never have guessed it! I’ve also looked up every single grapefruit shower gel that I’ve used over the past 4 years (thanks to my blog, this took me less than 2 minutes), and this one is the only one I didn’t like.

Treacle Moon Happy Melon Sorbet and Treacle Moon Sugared Grapefruit Sunrise are available as part of a 5-piece shower gel gift set (5x60ml). My friend bough the set in Germany. I have never come across these 2 fragrances over here in the UK, but I’ll keep my eyes peeled for Happy Melon Sorbet!

Hi there! I haven’t done a product comparison for quite some time. So when I saw these 2 unicorn-themed products, I thought they would be perfect for a comparison post! And here’s how these 2 products fared. 🙂

Carex Fun Edition Unicorn Magic Shower & Bath is good but not great. The fragrance is best described as a sugared violet sweets fragrance. It’s enjoyable but very fleeting. The formula is nice. I wouldn’t say the shower gel is hydrating, but it certainly doesn’t make my skin feel dry. Like I said, this shower gel is good but not great.Imperial Leather Cosmic Unicorn Fantasy Icon Bath Soak was a nice surprise! From the bottle it smells terribly bland, and I thought this one might end up in the hand wash dispenser. However, I’m glad I gave this product a try because once it hits the skin, it smells pleasantly floral and soapy. Whilst the fragrance isn’t very special, I do like it. I’m also happy to report that this product doesn’t make my skin feel dry.

Whilst I ended up liking both products, I think Carex‘s Unicorn Magic is the better product. The cute fragrance fits the cute unicorn theme perfectly.

Nivea Indulgent Moisture Orange Shower Cream is an old favourite. I hadn’t bought it in years (and I don’t even know why), but it was on special when I saw it the other day, and so I picked it up! This shower cream is fantastic. It feels amazing on the skin, and the soapy orange fragrance is a delight. It’s a bit old-fashioned, but it also reminds me of cheese cake (with mandarin segments in it). Great stuff!Nivea Indulging Moisture Cocoa Caring Shower Cream was new to me. But I’m glad I finally bought this shower cream because it feels great on my skin, and the dark chocolate fragrance is lovely. This is the perfect shower cream for this time of year.

Hi there! Today I’m reviewing 2 shower gels – Enliven Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel & Enliven Mango And Papaya Shower Gel. I’ve never heard of the brand Enliven until I found these shower gels at my local Poundstretcher store. These are 400ml bottles, and they were 69p each. This is incredible value if you consider that these shower gels contain quality skin care ingredients like vitamin E, shea butter and argan oil. I’ve been using these shower gels on and off for little while now, and here’s what I think.

Enliven Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel smells like pink grapefruit! The fragrance is perfectly natural, sunny and slightly tangy. It’s the perfect shower gel to wake you up in the morning. It’s very nice, and I’ve been enjoying it a lot lately.Enliven Mango And Papaya Shower Gel smells unbelievably natural. The fruity fragrance is 100% spot on. If you love sweet mango (with a touch of papaya), you should give this a try!

Based on my experience, I would recommend these shower gels. I love the grapefruit shower gel a little more, but they’re both excellent, and I can definitely see myself picking them up again! Enliven Pink Grapefruit Shower Gel & Enliven Mango And Papaya Shower Gel are available as 400ml.
